  • Maybe You are ...
    • Ready for a new car and you have a car that you no longer want or need ?
    • Have an extra car sitting in the driveway or garage?
    • No longer using the car, but you still have to pay registration, insurance costs and maintenance?
    • Dissolving a business or corporation
    • Settling an Estate for a loved one
    • Or you’re planning on moving, and don’t want to ship the car to your new home? Did you know that some states actually charge a registration penalty for vehicles being registered for the first time from out of state?
    By donating a car to the American Red Cross, you avoid the hassle of selling the car yourself. We will handle all the details for you - it is a lot easier than selling the car or trading it in, placing an expensive ad in the paper and dealing with numerous phone calls at all hours of the day and night, strangers in your home or haggling with your dealer. 

    We will pick up the car, free of charge at your home, office, or even at the dealership where you're buying your new car, wherever is most convenient for you. 

    By donating a car to the American Red Cross, you will be eligible for a tax deduction for the fair market price of your car. The value of the deduction may be worth more than the hassle of selling the car yourself or trading  it in at the dealership.

    Your donation will benefit you, and at the same time, help the American Red Cross fund our many programs including biomedical, disaster relief, armed forces emergency services, health and safety , nursing and youth services. Help can't wait.  The proceeds from the sale of your donation are put to good use at your local chapter. For example, if you live in Bergen County, the proceeds from your donation stay in your Ridgewood New Jersey Chapter. If you live in Nassau County, New York, the proceeds stay in your Mineola Chapter, and the same goes for whichever county that you live in. BE SURE -- BE SAFE -- KEEP YOUR DONATION LOCAL!
